Knowing when you should hire a plumber can save you money in the long run. Hire a plumber when the problem is big, and when there’s a higher risk of doing more damage than good.

Call a plumber in the following examples:

A drop in water pressure throughout the house:Thisproblem can be caused by: obstructions (rust or debris) in the water lines; low water pressure from the main city supply or a well; or even poor supply-line design.

No running hot water: Unless the hot water system tank is leaking, it might be hard to determine the cause. Hot water system problems can include: heating elements, circuit breakers or blown fuses, faulty thermostats, or a bad overload switch. Gas hot water heater problems include: thermocouple burners and igniters.

Replacing a hot water heater: Think very hard before attempting to replace a heater by yourself. Remember, your professional plumber can carry the new one to the basement, hook it up, make sure that it works properly, and dispose of the old one.

Sewer line blockages: If you cannot get the sewer line to stop backing up, you probably have a bad plug in the line that runs out to the main sewer, which is often tree roots. Call a professional plumber or drain-cleaning service. If they get in trouble, they will know what repairs to make.

Extensive water line damage: Repairing water line damage, which is usually caused by freezing, can take many hours
